The chamber ensemble of one of the world’s greatest orchestra, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam, Camerata RCO has established a reputation as one of the most original and exciting musical groups to have emerged in Europe over the last decade. The ensemble performs regularly in the Netherlands — in its Amsterdam home, the Concertgebouw, and other cities — and abroad, having given highly acclaimed concerts in New York, Madrid, Rome, Vienna, Tokyo and other major capitals.

Its impressive discography for the Gutman label includes recordings of composers ranging from Corelli to Ravel. Camerata RCO’s 2014 recording of a chamber arrangement of Mahler’s Symphony No. 9 was issued to universal critical acclaim, and a recording of the chamber version of Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 is also planned for 2016.
